I do know a lot^^ - I wrote an article about it in the German Servamp wikia (Schulsystem in Japan).

Once in school I made a presentation about the Japanese School system and got in contact with a teacher there.

They have the so called 6-3-3-system; what means 6 years elementary school (Shôgakkô), 3 years "middle school" (Chûgakkô) and 3 years "high school" (Kôtôgakkô).

But different to your high school, the pupils in Japan have to pass a very difficult "test" in order to be allowed to visit that high school. Most of them pass since they have verry bad chance for a job if they don't. So all of them work really hard to pass the test. (due to the very presure full system of being good in order to "survive" Japan and China have the highest suicide rates of pupils all over the world)

Most middle schools and high schools have a strict dress code, but most elementary schools don't. There are some schools that allow you to waer what ever they want.

Their lessons start at 9 am and end at 3:30 pm. After that, they have club activity until 6 pm  which is not a "must" but yet about 90 per cent join them.

Every school lesson lasts about 50 minutes with 10 minutes break in between. (And one big break for lunch)

All in one they have a sum of about 9 weeks holidays a year (5 weeks in summer, two in winter, and two in spring for changing the class)

Different to our schools,  the pupils have a lot more respect towards older pupils (senpai) and their teachers (sensei).

Most school do have janitors but they clean up  their own class room for them self, the school yard is often cleanded by  janitors - at least that's what the Japanese teacher told me^^ (He is teacher in a private school, but I think he knows how other schools work too xD)

They don't get "marks" from A to F or from 1 to 6 but in their tests they get "points". 100 is the top - that means you got all questions right. Of cause 0 points is the worst. In one of the latest chapters we can see a flashback of Touma and we can see that he scored very high, what means that he must have been a good student.

That should be a good summary about what I know about that system^^
